I’d suggest making balance sheets for each year to exported. Afterwards I would use File\Export\Transactions to CSV. There I would select the appropriate time range. I also would export the account structure to CSV. In the one-year-only file I would import the account structure and make entries for the opening balances. Lastly I would import the transactions from the CSV files.
